Occasionally I hear from a builder about one of my Odd'l Rockets kits. They offer a suggestion about how something could be improved. Sometimes that suggestion is implemented to improve the quality of a kit or accessory.
SUGGESTION: I wish vendors wouldn't print the company, kit name or copy on a card stock shroud. A novice builder would roll the shroud with that black ink image on the outside of the shroud.
The ink could bleed through and be visible after the model is painted, especially if the final color is white.
There's a lot of border area on the sheet. The rocket name, art and the wording "Shroud Pattern" could be placed outside of the used card stock area.
What would be really nice of vendors to do would be if they had all their printed sheets online as downloadable PDFs that ensured they printed to the proper size of the original. Ideally, all printed cards would fit on standard 8-1/2" x 11" pages or a legal size pages. Most of us scan them in, but, apparently, my scanning skills must not be good because they always seem to print just slightly off from the original...
